Guard, you don't want to pick up any long orders in case you get called, but you have to feed the Fam. Active, you don't know when to make your separation date so you can stay employed until the time comes. Just my thoughts. I know this is minuscule compared to the people who haven't been called, but hay i wouldn't be a crew dog if i didn't complain.
J,
I was in the pool for 7 months back in the day so I totally get your frustration. Trying to support my family via the Reserves while trying to be available for "the call" was a total pain with no info coming from the HR folks. Unfortunately that's the way FDX has always been with poolies. I know it sounds hollow, but do the best you can and stay positive. When you do finally get here it is well worth the wait. Good luck to you and the other poolies.
